Marvellous views in great location

Mc crae is a wonderful place to stay the property was all we could of asked for. Few minutes walk to a wonderful beach which was not busy so our fur babies loved the room to run and explore. The upstairs terrace offered an amazing view of the bay and lighthouse. Great back drop with the stars and moon at night. The backyard has ample room for our dogs to run around while we relaxed on the bench with a coffee. Definitely come back again. Kathy was great in offering early check in and late check out thank you so much.

The view is magnificent!

The view is just magnificent! You get a full panoramic sea view and it's walking distance to a quiet beach. The area is also quite quiet, you don't hear the cars from the main road. It's also very soothing looking at the lighthouse changing colours every night. And do yourself a favour, take a bath and enjoy the sunset view! It was beautiful. The backyard was great for dogs and kids. My little one enjoyed his first experience with a trampoline. Kathy was also very helpful and quick on the communication. We didn't bring enough bedsheets, and she called me straight away after I messaged her for help. Hopefully I will be able to go back during summer time, it is definitely one of the best house I have stayed in with great view and convenient location. Once again, thank you Kathy!

Wow, what a great place.

We want to thank our host Kathy for providing such a beautiful home for us to relax and unwind in for the week. It was just what we wanted in the atmosphere of the home and the location to everything. Our dog 'Molly' loved it as well and was at home straight away. We can't wait to book another holiday at the home in the future. Thanks Kathy. Gary.
